Follow these steps to create a zone template.
1. Click Configuration > AP Zones.
2. On the sidebar, click Zone Templates.
The Zone Templates page appears.
3. Click the Create New button.
The Create New Zone Template form appears.
4. Configure General Options.
a) In Zone Name, type a name for the zone that you are creating.
b) In Description, type a description for this template.
c) In AP Firmware, select the AP firmware version to which to apply this template.
d) In Country Code, select the correct code for the country in which you are operating the
controller network. Different countries and regions maintain different rules that govern
which channels can be used for wireless communications. Selecting the correct country
code will ensure that APs that are part of the controller network do not violate local and
national regulatory restrictions.
e) In AP Admin Logon, configure the following options:
• Logon ID: Set the administrator user name.
• Password: Set the administrator password.
Any administrator can use this user name and password combination to log on directly
to the managed access point’s native web interface.
f) In Syslog Options, if you have a syslog server on the network and you want the controller
to send syslog data to it, select the Enable external server for APs in this zone check
box.
